The Chairman of the Supreme Court of the country opposes his dismissal

MUQDISHO – The ousted chairman of the Supreme Court of the country, Baashe Yuusuf Axmed, has strongly spoken about the removal from office and the process that Villa Somalia followed, describing it as lacking legitimacy in the decisions and procedures used for his dismissal.

Baashe Yuusuf Axmed, who held a press conference in the city of Muqdisho, stated that many troops were deployed to the Supreme Court headquarters, an issue he said created fear and concern, and also endangered his life.

The ousted chairman emphasized that he is not defending the position he held, but is speaking about the protection of the law and the independence of the judiciary institutions.

“I am not defending the position, but I am defending the law. The President must withdraw the three hundred troops he has placed over the Court,” said Baashe Yuusuf Axmed.

He also called on the President of Somalia to withdraw the troops from the Supreme Court headquarters, expressing concern about the presence of many troops stationed at the country’s highest judicial institution.

This statement comes amid a dispute arising from the removal of Baashe Yuusuf Axmed, which raises a debate about the legal process of dismissal, the independence of the judiciary, and the relationship between government institutions.
